About the school and city

About the School

Riga itself is a small city, easy to navigate around. It has a beautiful Old Town, a busy shopping district and a stunning Art Nouveau feel in other locations.

IH Riga is situated about ten minutes from the Old Town and the same distance from both the train and bus stations, so it is very convenient to get to. Even the airport is only about twenty minutes away on the bus.

What is the best thing about the school? You mean apart from the good facilities, the brilliant team and our lovely teachers? We would have to say our students. Some of them come back year after year because they enjoy it so much, and our young learners are such a bright, funny, engaging bunch that the teachers love the classes as much as the students do.

Life in and around Riga

Riga is a very pleasant city, with lots of cultural activities throughout the year. Riga has a great public transport system, so getting around the city is easy and not expensive.

It is also simple to use the trains to make trips further afield to explore our beautiful country. Within reach of an easy day out are:

Talinn and Vilnius, in our neighbouring Baltic countries, are both easy to get to, about four hours on a bus.
